Wonderful 101 is an absolute gem. Also loved second sight on the GameCube.

Oh, I loved HMV. I only said that because the Canada business went belly-up this past April. God some really sweet deals when they were clearing that place out. Sunrise Records bought up their retail locations and almost identically replicated their store layout. But the Canada ones haven't sold games for like 5-8 years :( 

RIP HMV Canada

The entire "Ys" series is criminally overlooked compared to the more well know RPG franchises, and yet it's also one of the longest running in gaming dating back to the late 80s. This I feel is mainly due to sporadic releases of installments in the series, coupled with the fact that some installments take years to reach Western audiences or never leave Japan.

I'll be picking up Ys VIII on PS4 at some point in the near future, as well as the Steam port of Ys Seven since I never got around to playing the original PSP version.

I really liked Lair, control scheme and all. Hated for no fault of its own in my book.

I really liked shadow of memories. I didn't play it anymore since it released, so it can be a bad game tainted with nostalgia, but i have great ... well... memories with it

I feel Alien Front: Online on the Dreamcast is a good choice. It's somewhat ironic, because if this game came out now, I'd shun it. But there's no denying I loved it. It didn't sell well or have particularly strong reviews. It had 2 modes:

- Online battle - Choose a side Alien or Human, then one of 3 vehicles and fight it out in up to 4 on 4 battles. Sometimes fight would be uneven. 3 on 1, 4 on 2, ect.

Arcade mode. Pick a side, then one of 3 vehicles, then battle waves of AI from the other side for score. Top ten scores were saved on the server. Why only top ten though? Ha.

It was also the first console game I played, and I think the first ever, with voice-chat. It came bundled with the Dreamcast Mic, which attached to the controller, and allowed for fairly low quality communication in roughly 5 second snippets that would be heard through the TV. A glorious novelty at the time.

Majin: Forsaken Kingdome great game, a little unpolished, but with some great mechanics. Sad that Game Republics it's no more.

Ys VIII is terrific! I hope you enjoy it!

Bulletstorm.

Ooo. Good choice. I was a bit surprised by how much I liked this one. After I played it, I found out a little known Canadian rapper I liked as a kid ( Kish ) did the voice for Ishi Sato, which I found kinda neat.
